NJTV, New Jersey's public television network, is officially live in Newark's Gateway Center and broadcasted live today (Monday, May 18) from the new studio. The studio is open and can be viewed from the Gateway concourse leading to Newark Penn Station."NJTV's move to Newark marks a major milestone for the network," said Neal Shapiro, the President and Chief Executive Officer of WNET, operator of NJTV. "The new space allows growth in New Jersey public television's production facilities and access to community resources, while being positioned along the state's largest transit hub. This will greatly benefit NJTV's ability to deliver news and programming throughout the State."
"From this location at 2 Gateway, we can directly interact with the public we serve, as thousands of passersby will be able to literally look into our operations and see our team at work," said NJTV's General Manager John Servidio. "We also look forward to welcoming viewers into our space for special events, from program tapings to community gatherings to educational sessions."
